COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The 2016 RMAC Wrestling Championships will be held at the U.S. Olympic Complex in Colorado Springs on Sunday, January 31 and the major event is in need of volunteers to ensure success of the event!
Volunteers are needed for table workers (scoreboard operator, towel tapper and filmer) and ticket takers at the entrance. The pay for volunteers is $10.00 per hour. The time slot would be 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Interested volunteers should contact Eric Danner at the RMAC as soon as possible. Eric Danner edanner@rmacsports.org (719) 471-4530
The RMAC is partnering with USA Wrestling, the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation and the U.S. Olympic Complex for these championships.
This will be the first RMAC-only Wrestling Championship since 1996 and the first ever collegiate wrestling tournament held at the U.S. Olympic Complex.
"The opportunity we can afford our student-athletes through a partnership with USA Wrestling is one-of-a-kind. The return of the RMAC Wrestling Championship Tournament will greatly benefit our programs, wrestling in the Rocky Mountain region and the city of Colorado Springs. This is a very special opportunity," said RMAC Commissioner Chris Graham.
"USA Wrestling is excited to partner with the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference to host this historic event. We are confident that the United States Olympic Training Center and our beautiful city of Colorado Springs will provide an inspiring backdrop for these Championships. We are eager to continue to help wrestling grow within this great conference and the region," said Rich Bender, Executive Director of USA Wrestling.
"We are thrilled to be part of the RMAC Wrestling Championship and we are hopeful to make this an annual event in Colorado Springs," said Tom Osborne, President & CEO of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation.
Between 1997 and 2014, the RMAC wrestling championship was combined with the NCAA Division II regional tournament.
In 2015, the RMAC Dual Meet champion was recognized as the conference champion.
Adams State, Chadron State, Colorado Mesa, Colorado Mines, CSU-Pueblo, New Mexico Highlands and Western State Colorado compete in RMAC wrestling along with associate members California Baptist and San Francisco State.
Founded in 1909, the RMAC is the most historic collegiate organization in the western United States. The sport of wrestling started in the RMAC in 1922, with the first title being won by the University of Colorado.
Tickets for the tournament are $10 for an all-day pass, $8 for students and Seniors and free for those under three years old.
